Proving he might be a lot like his daughter, down to his
Achy Breaky Heart,
Billy Ray Cyrus has released a hip-hop remix of his 1992 hit country song. For the
track — titled
Achy Breaky 2 and released on Tuesday as a music video — the 52-year-old dad of
Miley Cyrus collaborates with drummer
Bill Elliott and rapper
Buck 22, the son of singer
Dionne Warwick.

The video opens with CNN legend
Larry King reporting that “An unidentified flying object has been seen
transcending over Europe.”

What ensues could be straight out of a Miley video: Billy Ray and Buck 22 are abducted onto a
spacecraft filled with barely clothed, twerking female “aliens.” The song even refers to Daddy’s
not-so-little girl — with Buck 22 rapping, “Miley keeps twerking; Daddy’s song is working,” and
Billy Ray shouting, “Wrecking ball!”

Buck 22 told Rolling Stone that he approached the country singer about a remake.

“He liked what he heard and, weeks later, arrived at the session to record this track.”
